National Parks Conservation Association is thrilled to present the book launch and signing of "Into the Great White Sands: Photographs by Craig Varjabedian."
We are excited about the timely publication of this book, as Senator Martin Heinrich recently introduced legislation to elevate White Sands from a national monument to a full-fledged national park.
This beautiful coffee table book from the University of New Mexico Press captures spectacular images from one of our state’s most well-known and iconic natural wonders. White Sands National Monument is a unique destination that people travel from around the world to experience and is deserving of national park status. We want you to help us celebrate! Enjoy a digital exhibit of photographs, buy a book and support NPCA’s work to protect national parks.
Award-winning photographer Varjabedian will present a selection of his photographs on the big screen, exploring the motivations and stories behind his images of this 275-square-mile unique gypsum dune field, and coauthors Jeanetta Calhoun Mish, Dennis Ditmanson and Jim Eckles will read from their essays. I will speak about NPCA’s park protection work in New Mexico and across the Southwest and actor Arthur RedCloud will emcee the evening. A portion of the proceeds from the book sales will go to support NPCA’s work.
